Definitions

  • the invention relates to compounds of formula I,
  • R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6 and X have the meanings stated below, to their preparation and their use, in particular in pharmaceuticals.
  • the compounds of the invention of formula I have not previously been described. They act on the so-called Kv1.5 potassium channel and inhibit a potassium current which is designated the ultra-rapidly activating delayed rectifier in the human atrium. In addition, the compounds also act on other atrium-specific potassium channels such as the acetylcholine-dependent potassium channel KACh, and the 2P domain potassium channel TASK-1.
  • the compounds are therefore very particularly suitable as antiarrhythmic active ingredients, in particular for the treatment and prophylaxis of atrial arrhythmias, for example atrial fibrillation (AF) or atrial flutter.
  • Atrial fibrillation (AF) and atrial flutter are the commonest sustained cardiac arrhythmias.
  • the incidence increases with increasing age and frequently leads to fatal sequelae such as, for example, stroke.
  • AF affects for example about 3 million Americans and leads to more than 80 000 strokes each year in the USA.
  • class I and III antiarrhythmics currently in use can reduce the rate of recurrence of AF, their use is restricted owing to their potential proarrhythmic side effects. There is for this reason a great medical need for better medicaments for treating atrial arrhythmias to be developed.
  • reentry depolarization waves underlie most supraventricular arrhythmias. Such reentries occur if the cardiac tissue has a slow conductivity and, at the same time, very short refractory periods.
  • the increase in the myocardial refractory period by prolonging the action potential is an accepted mechanism for terminating arrhythmias and preventing their development.
  • the length of the action potential is substantially determined by the extent of repolarizing K + currents which flow out of the cell through the various K + channels. Particularly great importance is ascribed in this connection to the so-called delayed rectifier I K which consists of 3 different components: IK r , IK s and IK ur .
  • class III antiarrhythmics for example dofetilide or d-sotalol
  • IK r rapidly activating potassium channel
  • Mathematical models of the human action potential suggest that the positive effect of a blockade of the IK ur ought to be particularly pronounced precisely under the pathological conditions of chronic atrial fibrillation (M. Courtemanche, R. J. Ramirez, S, Nattel, Cardiovascular Research 1999, 42, 477-489: “Ionic targets for drug therapy and atrial fibrillation-induced electrical remodeling: insights from a mathematical model”).
  • IK ur plays a significant role in the human atrium, but not in the ventricle. For this reason, if the IK ur current is inhibited, the risk of a proarrhythmic effect on the ventricle is precluded from the outset, in contrast to blockade of IK r or IK s (Z. Wang et al, Circ. Res. 73, 1993, 1061-1076: “Sustained Depolarisation-Induced Outward Current in Human Atrial Myocytes”; G.-R. Li et al, Circ. Res.
  • Antiarrhythmics which act by atrium-selective blockade of the IK ur current or Kv1.5 channel have not, however, been available on the market to date. Although a blocking effect on the Kv1.5 channel has been described for numerous active pharmaceutical ingredients (for example quinidine, bupivacaine or propafenone), the Kv1.5 blockade in each of these cases represents only a side effect in addition to other main effects of the substances.
  • active pharmaceutical ingredients for example quinidine, bupivacaine or propafenone
  • Kv1.5 channel blockers A number of patent applications in recent years have described various substances as Kv1.5 channel blockers. A compilation and detailed discussion of these substances has recently been published (J. Brendel, S. Peukert; Curr. Med. Chem.—Cardiovascular & Hematological Agents, 2003, I, 273-287; “Blockers of the Kv1.5 Channel for the Treatment of Atrial Arrhythmias”).
  • all Kv1.5 blockers disclosed to date and described therein have entirely different types of structures than the compounds of the invention in this application.
  • no clinical data on the effect and tolerability in humans have been disclosed to date for any of the compounds disclosed to date. Since experience has shown that only a small proportion of active ingredients successfully overcome all the clinical hurdles from preclinical research to the medicament, there continues to be a need for novel, promising substances.
  • the compounds of formula I and/or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts also act on the acetylcholine-activated potassium channel KACh and on the TASK-1 channel, which likewise predominantly occur in the atrium (Krapivinsky G., Gordon E. A., Wickman K., Velimirovic B., Krapivinsky L., Clapham D. E.: “The G-protein-gated atrial K + channel I KACh is a heteromultimer of two inwardly rectifying K + -channel proteins”, Nature 374 (1995) 135-141; Liu, W., Saint, D.
  • the compounds of formula I and/or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts can therefore be used as novel antiarrhythmics with a particularly advantageous safety profile.
  • the compounds are suitable in particular for the treatment of supraventricular arrhythmias, for example atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter.
  • the compounds of formula I and/or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof can also be employed for the treatment and prevention of diseases where the atrium-specific potassium channels, for example the Kv1.5, the KACh and/or the TASK-1, are only partially inhibited, for example by using a lower dosage.
  • the atrium-specific potassium channels for example the Kv1.5, the KACh and/or the TASK-1
  • the compounds of formula I and/or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts can be employed to produce medicaments with a K + channel-blocking effect for the therapy and prophylaxis of K + channel-mediated diseases.
  • the compounds of formula I and/or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts can further be used for the therapy or prophylaxis of cardiac arrhythmias which can be abolished by prolonging the action potential.
  • the compounds of formula I and/or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts can be employed for terminating existent atrial fibrillation or flutter to restore the sinus rhythm (cardioversion).
  • the substances reduce the susceptibility to the development of new fibrillation events (maintenance of sinus rhythm, prophylaxis). It has further been observed that the substances are effective for preventing life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias (ventricular fibrillation) and are able to protect from sudden heart death without, however, simultaneously bringing about an unwanted prolongation of the so-called QT interval.
  • the compounds of formula I and/or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts can be employed for producing a medicament for the therapy or prophylaxis of reentry arrhythmias, of supraventricular arrhythmias, atrial fibrillation and/or atrial flutter.
  • the compounds of formula I and/or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts are further suitable for producing a medicament for the therapy or prophylaxis of heart failure, in particular of diastolic heart failure and for increasing atrial contractility.
  • the compounds of formula I and/or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof inhibit TASK potassium channels, for example the subtypes TASK-1 and TASK-3, in particular the subtype TASK-1. Because of the TASK-inhibitory properties, the compounds of formula I and/or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts are suitable for the prevention and treatment of diseases caused by activation or by an activated TASK-1, and of diseases caused secondarily by the TASK-1-related damage.
  • the compounds of formula I and/or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts are also suitable for producing a medicament for the therapy or prophylaxis of respiratory disorders, especially sleep apneas, neurodegenerative disorders and cancers, for example sleep-related respiratory disorders, central and obstructive sleep apneas, Cheyne-Stoke's breathing, snoring, impaired central respiratory drive, sudden infant death, postoperative hypoxia and apnea, muscle-related respiratory disorders, respiratory disorders following long-term ventilation, respiratory disorders associated with altitude adaptation, acute and chronic pulmonary disorders with hypoxia and hypercapnia, neurodegenerative disorders, dementia, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, cancers, breast cancer, lung cancer, colon cancer and prostate cancer.

  • the dosage of the active ingredient to be administered or of the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof depends on the individual case and should be adapted to the circumstances of the individual case as usual for an optimal effect. Thus, it naturally depends on the frequency of administration and on the potency and duration of action of the particular compounds employed for therapy or prophylaxis, but also on the type and severity of the disease to be treated, and on the gender, age, weight and individual response of the human or animal to be treated, and on whether therapy is acute or prophylactic.
  • the daily dose of a compound of formula I and/or its pharmaceutically acceptable salts for a patient weighing about 75 kg is normally at least 0.001 mg/kg to 100 mg/kg of body weight, preferably 0.01 mg/kg to 20 mg/kg. Even higher dosages may also be necessary for acute episodes of the disease, for example in an intensive care unit. Up to 800 mg per day may be necessary, especially on i.v. use, for instance for an infarct patient in an intensive care unit.
  • the dose may be in the form of a single dose or be divided into a plurality, for example two, three or four, single doses. Parenteral administration by injection or infusion, for example a continuous intravenous infusion, may also be advantageous, especially in the treatment of acute cases of cardiac arrhythmias, for example in an intensive care unit.
  • the compounds of formula I and/or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts can also be combined with other pharmaceutical active ingredients to achieve an advantageous therapeutic effect.
  • advantageous combinations with substances acting on the cardiovascular system are possible in the treatment of cardiovascular disorders.
  • Suitable examples of such combination partners advantageous for cardiovascular disorders are other antiarrhythmics, i.e.
  • class I, class II or class III antiarrhythmics such as, for example, IK r channel blockers, for example dofetilide, or additionally substances which reduce blood pressure, such as ACE inhibitors (for example enalapril, captopril, ramipril), angiotensin antagonists, K + channel activators, and alpha- and beta-receptor blockers, but also sympathomimetic and adrenergic compounds, and Na + /H + exchange inhibitors, calcium channel antagonists, phosphodiesterase inhibitors and other substances with a positive inotropic effect, such as, for example, digitalis glycosides, or diuretics.
  • ACE inhibitors for example enalapril, captopril, ramipril
  • angiotensin antagonists K + channel activators
  • alpha- and beta-receptor blockers but also sympathomimetic and adrenergic compounds
  • Na + /H + exchange inhibitors sodium + /H + exchange inhibitors
  • the compounds of formula I can be prepared by various processes. The preparation methods used to prepare the examples are described below, where R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6 and X have the same meaning as in compounds of formula I.
  • a) The compounds of formula Va were dissolved in a dipolar aprotic solvent such as, for example, DMSO or DMF, and 1-20 mole equivalents of a base such as, for example, powdered NaOH or NaH were added.
  • a compound of formula VI such as, for example, cyclopropylmethyl bromide or 4-CN-fluorobenzene, where X1 is defined for example as halogen such as fluorine, chlorine, bromine or iodine, in particular fluorine or bromine, were added at room temperature.
  • the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1-10 hours until conversion was complete, and further equivalents of the compound of formula VI were added where appropriate (variant Aa).
  • the reaction mixture was usually diluted with water and, in the event that the products do not separate out as crystals, extracted with ethyl acetate and purified where appropriate by chromatography.
  • a) 1 equivalent of a compound of formula V was dissolved in a dipolar aprotic solvent such as, for example, DMSO or DMF, and 1-20 mole equivalents of a base such as, for example, powdered NaOH or NaH were added.
